Event Details

Traditional gym exercises have never taken into account the 3-dimensional nature of our architecture. If our bodies are 3-dimensional, why not train and exercise in 3-dimensions? We now know that the role of fascia in movement and activity is just as important, if not moreso, than the muscles. In order to optimise our movement and reduce dysfunction we must address the fascia and train it appropriately. This workshop will further your knowledge of whole-body interconnectedness; how the myofascial lines are crucial to healthy movement and how to train these lines and the connective tissue safely and effectively. This workshop will teach you how to apply the principles of fascial fitness to our bodies using movement and mobilizers to move and feel better in everything that you do!

**Please note - this workshop builds upon knowledge learnt in the 'Free your body workshop'. See the event page for when the next 'Free your body workshop' will be held**

What will you learn?

In this entertaining 3-hour workshop we will further discuss functional anatomy, and how the Anatomy Trainsor Myosfascial meridians are also crucial to movement. The concept of Fascial Fitness will be discussed and you will learn how to train the fascial system. We will cover the latest concepts in functional exercise, why this type of exercise is healthier for our bodies and how to introduce this into your current training method. We will also cover how and why exercise makes us smarter and how exercise is really the 'secret' to longevity. Once again, similar to the "Free your Body" workshop, this workshop will be highly practical. We will learn what makes an effective warm-up, this concept of 'whole-body integration' and learn specific fascial exercises. If you are serious about learning what is best for your body, this workshop is a must!

Who should attend?

This workshop will cover many topics that anyone with an interest in the human body, anatomy and movement will find extremely beneficial. We will be covering specific exercises for all different populations - yourself, elite athletes, the weekend warrior, children and the elderly; this information is applicable to one and all. The main groups of people that will benefit from attending this workshop are sportspeople, yoga teachers, yoga students, yoga teacher trainees, pilates instructors and students, physio's, personal trainers, dance teachers, group exercise teachers, martial arts instructors, etc - anyone involved in movement and exercise!

Testimonials - Read what people have said about previous workshops!

"Thanks so much Trevor!...I am trying to incorporate this into my routine assessment with my patients.... which is quite challenging as it requires a "new way", but a way for which I have been searching for a while! It brings together so much of my physio specialisations!!!!! THANK YOU!!

Lynn Matthews (Physiotherapist)

"Trevor's workshop on fascia is completely worth the time for any person looking to increase their movement and especially for all fitness professionals, in just three hours he provided me with the tools to become a more skilful and safe personal trainer. He provides you with the theory and practical to apply to any situation. The knowledge and insight you gain is super exciting and makes you want to come back for more - continuously! I found it invaluable and can't wait for the next one. - Thanks Trevor!”

“Jenny & I cross train & pilates forms an integral part of this training. We both attended Trevor’s Fascia Workshop on May 25th & found that Trevor’s practical approach enabled us to gain a good working overview in only a 3-hour workshop of how fascia works & how the use of pilates/yoga rollers & massage balls can be readily used to reduce/alleviate aches, soreness & other associated body discomfort related to training & other activities that form part of our everyday working & recreational lives. We have already integrated it into our cross-training & we look forward to future workshops soon………….thanks Trev"

FAQs

Why should I attend?

This workshop will be a unique opportunity to learn more about your own body, learn why you may have pain and dysfunction and how to address it. Rather than being a passive form of treatment such as going to your physio/chiro/osteo/etc this workshop will give you the tools to begin to address some of your own problems or to help educate your own students about how to free their own bodies. Considering most physio or chiro appointments these days cost approximately $80-$100 for a single consult, attending this workshop will be money well spent.

I already do yoga - isn't that enough for my body?

For some people this may be the case, but for others it may not be so. Stretching is only part of thesolution when it comes to addressing tightness and restriction in the body. Fascial tissue can become 'bound' or 'glued' due to injury, inactivity or postural (bad)habits. If this stuck tissue is left alone without treatment, adhesions in the tissue can form and only specific types of movement or pressure can relieve the adhesions.

But I learnt anatomy already. What more do I need to know?

As mentioned before, traditional anatomy focuses on the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons and their actions in a microscopic fashion. It is not wrong, but it is only part of the picture. The myofascial lines provide a more holistic viewpoint of the body; what affects one part of the body will have an effect on the whole of the body. The information in this workshop is slowly gaining momentum worldwide. Be one of the first to know about it.

I have an injury - may I still attend?

Yes, this will be no problem. Modifications of techniques will be given as required. Please just inform us prior to the workshop.

What should I bring and wear?

A pen and notebook as you may wish to take notes or draw pictures. Please wear clothes appropriate to workout in; loose fitting clothes, yoga wear, etc. For this workshop props will be provided if required. We have EFTPOS facilities on-site if required.

If I book and then can't make it can I get a refund?

Refunds will be given only for cancellations made 7 or more days prior to the workshop date. Please be aware that these workshops have sold out previously well before the workshop date. You may transfer your ticket to another person but this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the workshop date. No other refunds or credits are available. In extenuating circumstances please contact the organiser.

Why learn from Trevor?

Often it is difficult to find health practitioners that have both theoretical and practical knowledge. Trevor has not only studied with some of the most respected industry leaders in anatomy and movement science (Thomas Myers, Ian O'Dwyer, Michol Dalcourt, Steve Cotter) but has applied this knowledge in the real-world setting with world-class athletes at both Cirque du Soleil and currently at the West Australian Ballet. Trevor himself knows about his body as he has an extensive martial arts background; a Nidan (2nd-level) black belt in Okinawan Gojo-Ryu and has trained in Kung fu and Tai Chi in Perth, Harbin (China) and in Macau for over 10 years. Trevor currently is also regularly instructing AirYoga and Circus Conditioning classes.
